A Touch of the Creature by Charles Beaumont

[Valancourt Books]

His bizarre and still-unexplained death in 1967 at age 38 was like something out of one of his own Twilight Zone episodes, and it cut short the brilliant career of Charles Beaumont, a master of modern weird fiction. Our new edition of A TOUCH OF THE CREATURE includes all 14 stories from the limited hardcover edition, plus three never-before-seen stories and a new introduction by Roger Anker.

Beaumont was brilliant.

If you're not familiar with Beaumont, The Hunger: And Other Stories is a great place to start. Penguin also has a collection of his stories coming in October. :)

[Kimberly]

NOT familiar with Beaumont??? GASP!

LOL! I just hope my kids never end up like "one of those" ;). They have an entire library here to educate them! :D

I'm not really familiar with Beaumont. Is that bad? I do have The Hunger on my wish list though. :)
And now this one. *sigh*

I just read his bio. I wonder what that disease was? How strange.

[Janie]

I just read that he had early-set Alzheimers, at age 38.

Huh.His bio here says that at 38 he looked like a 95 yr old man.
Either way, what an awful thing to have happen.

You are now Beaumontized. Sort of like baptized but better.

Let us now read from the books of Beaumont.....amen.

[Char]

Hehehe. That reminds of an episode of The Family Guy called The Church of Fonzi.
Peter Griffin: May we all sit on it.
(response) Ayyyyy.
